Russia has 'momentum' on their side: West's 'lack of pace, determination have dragged Ukraine back'

Nearly 80 countries called Sunday for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine to be the basis for any peace agreement to end Russia's two-year war, though some key developing nations at a Swiss conference did not join in. India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates — represented by foreign ministers or lower-level envoys — were among countries that did not sign the final document. An overwhelming majority of Swiss conference attendees agree that Ukraine's territorial integrity must be the basis of any long-lasting peace, yet the way forward for diplomacy remains unclear. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the West's efforts to unite behind Ukraine, up against Russia's brutal military campaign, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Natia Seskuria, Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and Lecturer in Russian Politics.
